You aren't gonna replace the HOF'er. So don't try. Pivot. Build a strength elsewhere at a spot the draft allows you to.
They need to pour resources into the skill spots for sure. If it's a TE, great. If it's a WR, fine.

Yeah, the last 2/3 drafts have been really top-heavy on defense. We have, what, Creed to show for the first 2 days of the last 3 drafts? And of course Rice/Moore.
Rice looks like he'll hit. Moore not so much. So they'll need to swap priorities in the next draft. And honestly it may only take one to put things back to even and you can go back to a pure BPA approach.
But the defense needed so much help getting younger, faster and more cost effective that their approach was likely not only defensible, but flat out correct. Now they have a new issue to deal with and can attack the draft accordingly.
I suspect they'll do exactly that and wouldn't be at all surprised to see their first 3 picks to to WR, TE and OT in some order.
